What a lovely bridge! The texture of the bricks is very nice! Thank you for the info, it was very interesting...I gather it's very long if it's got 28 arches! :)

HFF!

That's a beautiful bridge, Carol. I like all those arches.

Oh gosh, I had this album and played it so much. Such a fun song and great one to go along with your beautiful image.

HFF to you and a brilliant weekend too. :)

Ecobird ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Thank you very much Karen. The Berwick Bridge also has beautiful arches, but is a lot lower and has a single lane across it for traffic. Beside that is a third, more modern bridge. I am pleased you liked the music. I have a couple of her albums too. Belated HFF wishes and have a good week ahead

Ecobird ^club has replied to Jaap van 't Veen ^club

Thank you very much Jaap. It is a lovely bridge, but I also like the Berwick bridge which is for single lane traffic but also has many arches. There is a third, more modern bridge close to it. Belated HFF wishes and have a good week.

Hi Carol

I really like this. I visited here a few years ago, and was struggling to find a nice picture, so I am very impressed!!
I notice the safety fence along the top of the bridge, so a definite Friday fence pic!!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend

Wonderful capture of this historic bridge Carol. I love the varied colours produced by the weathering of the stone work and the detail of same when enlarged. A very belated HFF by the way!

It looks stunning Carol. Such a shame so many have been demolished in the UK. There used to be quite a few in Somerset! A belated HFF and best Sunday greetings :)

Wonderful picture.
Your choice of pov (sorry, it seems rather stupid said that way) gives me a sense of proportion and imposing simplicity that is enhanced by the very sweet tonalities.
Thank you Carol.
